Just wondered how many really unusual eliminations there have ever been. I know Phil walked out to meet Marshall and Lance after they gave up during the Roadblock, has he had to do this with anyone else?

What about times where it hasn't been possible for Phil to eliminate a team? And are Team Guido the only final 3 team to never make it to the finish line?

Has anyone noticed any errors in post production during a particular episode? I've seen almost all the seasons, and never noticed any glaring mistakes, but just noticed two in subsequent episodes. At the start of the Leg 2 of Season 10, Tom & Terry are labelled as leaving at 7:02 PM, when in actual fact, it was probably supposed to be 10:02 PM if the other start times are assumed to be correct.

In the next episode, on leaving the detour, Peter and Sarah are labelled as currently being in 1st place, when actually, about 3 teams have already checked into the pitstop. I know these are easy to miss, but I wonder how many copywriters have to look these over before being aired!

Has anyone else noticed any spelling mistakes or other errors in the show?

There have been a few instances, particularly in the more recent seasons of Camera & Sound men being in the shot. Usually its not for very long though. The only really glaring issue I've ever found is Kelly & Christy being visible in the background, watching Andrew and Dan complete their speed bump three legs after they were eliminated

Hmm.. It is not really a "mistake", but sometimes they show a team boarding a flight and they show scenes from a different flight.

Like for example, Dustin & Kandice boarded a plane in Zanzibar to head to Poland, and the next clip of them waiting to put their luggage in the overhead comapartment was on another plane at Frankfurt wearing their blue jackets when in fact they were'nt wearing them before(when they were entering).

The only instance where editing left viewers confused was that piano task in TAR 17. While the problem was discovered and dealt with during filming at the time, the editing required CBS to issue a press release because of the confusion that was created. That's about as close to a post-production issue as I can think of. (And had they following the editing practices of the early seasons, they would have acknowledged it and the confusion would not have happened. The only other one was the Maria-Tiffany elimination which wasn't fully explained on air and I suspect to this day probably remains a source of confusion.

AmazingRace, the "substitution" of filmed takeoffs and landings has been a common practice on TAR since the early days. I don't view it as a istake, but rather using the visually available footage for telling the story.

Been wondering this for a while.. Do the camera crew have to get every single person in shot's permission to broadcast their face? Or is it only if they speak? Its very rare we ever see a blurry face, so I assume this is when the person has requested to be blurred. But I've also heard stories of people having to sign release forms to be on TV. What's the procedure here?

I would guess that the person has to be shown up close to where they could be identified in order to require a waiver. Crowd shots obviously don't apply. I don't think someone has to request to be blurred though, that is the default.

My favorite racer nod (it isn't in clothing), was in the very first episode of TAR 4, and it was said by Chris (Of Amanda & Chris, and why I will forever love this team).

They have just completed the detour and teams must now walk back up to the skylift area (and by all accounts it wears everyone out), Amanda is dragging behind Chris and Chris turns around and says, "Come on "Flo".
